Patron isn't really gone. That's probably the worst thing about secret paladin (the fast aggro ones not the midrangy style) it encourages MORE patron because its nearly a hard counter.
You encounter patron again starting from rank 10 and up on the Euro ladder. The meta is easy if you want to ladder up:
- rank 20 to 13: face hunter, eboladin and mechmage
- 12 to 8/7: secret paladin, some patrons and occasionally a lost handlock...
- 8/7 to legend: demonzoo, midrange hunter, patron, secret paladin and a lost dragon priest
- legend: a bit more variety with token druids and some very good oil rogues added to the list.
Grinding to legend isn't incredibly hard if you have the time and know the meta, but it sure as shit is boring as hell and I'd rather hit casual play and have some fun facing dreadlocks and such.
That's the EU ladder in a nutshell atm. In other words, since the release of TGT nothing has really changed except you encounter a secret paladin from time to time.

If you look at their meta snapshot, Patron is in a Tier of their own (Tier 1), all other top decks are under patron in Tier 2. And their latest snapshot had Secret Paladin ABOVE Patron in Tier 1. Are you seriously saying it's the best deck in the game?
It's a Top tier deck but if Patron is Tier 1 then this deck belongs in Tier 2 with every other really good non-Patron deck.
Also, their explanation of Tier 1 is:
Secret Paladin doesn't even fit their description because:
- It's not optimized.. There are about 50 different variations in play atm
- The deck is not forgiving: deal with the "combo" and most just concede on the spot.
- The "rediculously powerful combos" is 1 card.
- It's not forgiving at all, if your "ridiculously powerful combo" is dealt with the deck easily loses
All Im saying is it's not Rank 1 like they claim. It's good. Wins can be fast. But it's also able to be dealt with much easier than Patron.

So much Patron. I love how Chillmaw just gives them another win condition by massively buffing Frothing. I wonder how long it'll take for them to realize that TGT isn't going to change anything, and that Patron needs nerfed. Patron is definitely in a league of its own and nothing else compares, certainly not Riddledin.
Maybe it's ranked higher because the stupid fucking deck somehow requires even less skill to play than Patron warrior.

This morning I went 16-1 to rank 10 with this deck.
It's really consistant, and does well in this meta atm. My only loss was a secret paladin that got insane draw.
Think i'm gonna try to push to legend this season for the first time.

The way it was explained to me was that you just needed to do any long animation at the end of your turn. For every second of animation, your opponent would lose one second of their turn.

Yeah, there is/was a way to abuse Nozdurmu that way. The sandstorm visual effect would be cumulative.If you bounce Nozdurmu a few times, you can't see jack shit anymore because everything is glitched. I'm not sure if it's still possible to recreate this, but I witnessed it once or twice and it was hilarious.
Don't know if that is true but that wasn't the "abuse" basically you played Nozdormu then you played two brewmasters back and force bouncing each other then end your turn. The continued animations of the brewmasters would end your opponents turn with out them being able to attack.
It wasn't as good as the joust combo because you needed to have your noz stay alive a turn.

It sucks so much that Priest's have a viable deck. I might bitch about other things but I honestly cannot think of anything I enjoy less in this game than to be paired up with a Priest opponent.
